Cultivator In Control Chapter 7

As Ethan Xiao moved forward one step at a time, it was like stepping on everyone's hearts, making them terrified.

Ordinary members of the tribe were fine, but the two middle-aged men guarding the tribe leader were so nervous that they were speechless. The reason was the biggest reward that Ethan Xiao had heard.

The boy didn't tell the whole story.

As long as one enters the ancestral hall, not only will one receive a grand prize from the clan, but also be eligible for the final test - the test for the successor to the Xiao family.

That is the test qualification for the Xiao family heir!

The Xiao family has always been a family inheritance system of direct lineage inheritance, but there are exceptions to everything.

The rules set by the first head of the family are that if a descendant of the Xiao family can reach the ancestral hall and pass the talent test, he will be given the status of the first heir and inherit the entire Xiao family, regardless of whether you are of direct blood or not.

Ethan Xiao, as the disciple of Nathan Xiao, does not have the blood of the Xiao family, but if she really passes the successor assessment, she will become the successor of the Xiao family, that is, the young master of the Xiao family.

It is not impossible for him to inherit the Xiao family and become the patriarch in the future.

Now, apart from the patriarch, the only direct descendant of the Xiao family is that waste Nathan Xiao, and he is a waste and has no possibility of inheriting the Xiao family.

And they two are the only two branches of the Xiao family who have some blood relationship with the patriarch. As the nephews of the patriarch, won’t the entire Xiao family be in their pockets in the future?

But now Ethan Xiao has made such a big mistake.

It must be eradicated, it must be eradicated.

But just as the two middle-aged men were about to leave, the patriarch glanced at them with an unfathomable look.

"Where are you going? Just watch carefully and don't be disrespectful to our ancestors." He scolded in a low voice.

"Yes." The two men became obedient instantly, even their anxious emotions and vicious looks were hidden deep in their eyes.

After the patriarch turned around, the two still didn't dare to say anything more.

"The rest is up to you..." the patriarch muttered to himself.

Soon, Ethan Xiao reached about 800 steps.

As for the others, they were all eliminated five hundred years ago, and now Ethan Xiao is the only player left on the field.

So, except for the relatives and friends of the eliminated contestants who were concerned about them, everyone stared at Ethan Xiao with sharp eyes.

"No, our Xiao bloodline is actually defeated by an outer disciple who doesn't have a trace of Xiao bloodline?" said a clan member.

The patriarch glanced down, disappointment showing in his eyes, but then he became determined again.

When Ethan Xiao raised his foot, everyone's heart also jumped up. When Ethan Xiao put his foot down, everyone's heart sank again. In this way, everyone's heart was moved.

"Boom. Boom. Boom."

The sounds never stopped, and the eyes of most people became increasingly serious, while others were jumping for joy. Of course, there were only a few people.

It is obvious that those who are deeply resentful are from the side branches, while a small number of people who are excited are from the direct lineage.

Although they didn't know what it would mean if Ethan Xiao passed all a thousand steps, there were no direct descendants in this talent test. As the only one who had some connection with the direct line - Nathan Xiao's apprentice, they were happy to gloat over the misfortune of the side branch and gave Ethan Xiao a reluctant smile.

Finally, Ethan Xiao arrived at the 999th step. As long as he crossed this step, Ethan Xiao would be qualified to soar into the sky.

Everyone's hearts felt like they were tied up tightly with iron chains, making it hard for them to breathe. They just wanted Ethan Xiao to take the last step quickly.

Can...

Ethan Xiao stopped where he was.

Everyone: I almost suffocated myself.

"Blake, what's wrong?" The reason is that Blake suddenly shouted stop.

"I don't know, but there is very powerful energy ahead. If something goes wrong, I can't save you. You should be mentally prepared." Blake said solemnly.

"Oh, I thought it was some big deal, but it's just this."

"It's okay, this is all normal. Whose family doesn't have some treasures? I also had a space ring in my previous life. What's more, it's such a big, thousand-year-old family! There's nothing to be surprised about." Ethan Xiao said nonchalantly.

"Well, do as you see fit. It's your own life after all. If you don't cherish it, I have nothing to say."

"Oh, it's no big deal. This is the Xiao family's talent test. Those who come here are all young people from the clan. Can they really pit their own people? Most of the items inside are given by their ancestors. The possibility of danger is too small."

"up to you."

"I know what's going on. Besides, if I die, won't you be happy and celebrate? Isn't that exactly what you want?"

"snort..."

"hehe..."

Ethan Xiao stepped onto the last step with a smile.

Lift your back foot and follow.

"She really went up." The whole audience was shocked.

The record set thousands of years ago was broken once again, but obviously, few people were happy about it.

But it is undeniable that some people still have some ideas.

"My God, no one has been able to reach the top floor for years!"

"More than a thousand years!"

"That's right! Apart from the chieftain of the Shangshang clan, no one else has been able to repeat his achievement, not even eight hundred. But now..."

"And he is an outer disciple, without the bloodline of the Xiao family..."

Everyone was shocked by Ethan Xiao's feat, some were ashamed, some were surprised, some were malicious, and some were confused.

"Hey, Brother Nathan Xiao." A funny-looking fat boy approached Nathan Xiao enthusiastically, "Brother Nathan Xiao, isn't your disciple really your illegitimate daughter?"

The master rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course not."

"That's such a pity, otherwise, with that kind of talent, he would definitely be the heir to our Xiao family." The fat man gave Nathan Xiao a thumbs up, chattering on and on with some regret.

"But don't be too sad. Even if your apprentice can't become the heir, he will have enough confidence and status in our Xiao family, and there will be no difference between him and the heir. Then you will benefit from it, right?"

Nathan Xiao rolled his eyes at him and continued to stare at Ethan Xiao. He was not moved at all by the fat man's overly enthusiastic "comfort".

"When the time comes, don't forget us, the disciples who follow the direct lineage!"

"That's enough." Nathan Xiao shouted angrily, "When there's trouble, you run away faster than anyone else, but when there's good, you come to take advantage of it? Do you have the nerve to do that? You're a direct descendant of the family! You're shameless."

The flattery on the fat man's face disappeared, and he sneered: "Nathan Xiao, don't be shameless. Your apprentice is just a little capable now, and you dare to ignore us like this. Aren't you afraid that we will unite and drive you, a waste, out of the Xiao family?"

"I'm not afraid." Nathan Xiao was not afraid at all and didn't even glance at the fat man.
